A Newsletter for parents of our Preteen Kids, 9-12 years old,
4th -6th grade
By Toni Aurig, Leader of Preteen Midweek Discipleship Group
As a mother of a preteen and recalling those years personally, I am discovering that these years are truly a time of transition. I have been reading how early on about the time when our children are in the ninth year of life and around the fourth grade of the upper elementary years, they often began to find themselves re-identifying with who they are, who they relate to, and what interests attract them. Obviously, the reality is they are maturing, growing up.
As a parent, I find I am constantly seeking to nurture an environment where they don’t grow up too fast with the necessity of teaching them responsibility, Christ-like character, and preparing them to stand-up to the pressures of this world.
I am eager to join with you, beginning this Fall, in discipling our children on what it means to think and act like Jesus; while offering them an opportunity to grow in their relationship with God and to have a blast with other Questors.
I hope that they are able to join us as we explore the Bible, play games, sing, snack, and earn joy and jewels found in the greatest quest that will take us into eternity. As we venture out on this quest of becoming more like Jesus we can grow bolder in telling others about Him and giving them the Hope that we all so desperately seek.
“Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord, dear friends!” Philippians 4:1
